The Walking Dead - Vol 6: This Sorrowful Life


See... the problem is this... I pick it up to just read a few pages and then BAM! I can't put it down - and we're having a lazy weekend around the house. So what if I've read six volumes of this series in two days (and will probably read a few more before the day is out)?
Like the last post, potential spoilers below...

Last time we left, three of our crew were imprisoned by the Governor, a sociopath that is running a camp not far off from where the prison camp is. The guy is... well... he's insane. This book sees a continuation of that story as our friends try to break themselves out and get back to the prison camp without the Governor or anyone from the town following them. So how does it turn out? Well it's The Walking Dead, so there is going to be some pretty damn devastating stuff that goes on. Some catharsis amidst the brutality. Like all the volumes this one ends on a great note. Nick realizes that he's not the man he used to be, he's changing, and he's not sure if it's for the better or not. This volume leads off with our gang of travelers preparing for a potential battle for their home. Like them, we know it's coming, and it's just a matter of how long... and what will happened in between... I'm sure Kirkman has some twisted delights up his sleeves...
